This bus started out as a stock westfalia, all the body modifications were made more out of need than for looks. Right now housed in the rear of this beast is a 2.7L Race Prepped Porsche 911 RSR engine coupled to a modified 915 5-speed gearbox. Oh did i forget to mention the custom 10" dia. turbo, and intercooler from a Western Star tractor trailer? This isn't as wild as steve's projects get but it's his daily driver and I'll add the insane stuff when the website is more complete. The engine's bottom end is fairly stock and using a nice set of JE pistons. The cam lobe profiles were designed by steve and cut to his specs. For injection he started with a stock 911 Mechanical injection which was torn down and modified to supply the mass amounts of fuel this beast drinks. He ran the bus for a year without turbo and it ran a 14.5 in the quarter mile even with the tall gears in the porsche tranny (It was bearly into 3rd gear at the traps).
